Reference: Clout
Hastings
Jer 38:11-12 'old cast clouts.' The word is still used in Scotland for cloths (as in 'dish-clout'), but for clothes only contemptuously. Formerly there was no contempt in the word. Sir John Mandeville (Travels, Macmillan's ed. p. 75) says, 'And in that well she washed often-time the clouts of her son Jesu Christ.' The verb 'to clout' occurs in Jos 9:5, of shoes (Amer. RV 'patched').
